12 | Happy Birthday (F2)

- PEDRI -

 ~ A FEW DAYS BEFORE NYC ~ 

I was about to leave practice when Pablo hits me on my leg, causing me to jolt.

"Ay caramba, Gav! What the hell was that for?"

"Sorry Pepi, needed your attention." So he does it in the most painful way. Never mind, that sounds like Gavi.

"What is it?"

"So you know how we have a break next week, well you know what else is next week?"

"Hmmm, no. Nothing rings a bell." I smirk, making him mad.

He hits me once again in the same spot. Ow. 

Of course I knew it was his birthday. 

"Shut up dick. Anyways, I know Elli is feeling homesick & it's our birthdays, sooo I was wondering, why don't we bring home to her?"

Elli?

And, if you're already thinking no, don't. It's New York City, Pepi."

I'm going. For E-

For Pablo of course.

But ever since we turned into teenagers and we went through puberty, Lina has been more distant.

Lina. When we were little I couldn't pronounce the 'linia' , so I just came up with Lina.

Easier, and I'm the only one who can call her that.

"Um, yeah sure. I need a change. Sounds good."

"Alright perfect, I'll text you all the information later today."

A few days pass, and the day to leave to New York City is today. We pack all of our bags and get a cab to the airport.

We get to the airport and he randomly tells me that he can't hold in this secret.

Twins. Their twin telepathy. 

"Pepi, I can't hold it in anymore. I need to tell Elli. It's giving me anxiety."

I shake my head knowing that he's going to be on the phone with her until our flight is here.

Which is a good 2 hours.

Also, the signal is shit in here.

Finally, after a thousand tries & 15 'Fucks' the phone finally picks up.

"Pab, why are you calling me? Is everything ok?"

He smiles, "Yeah of course, go look at what I sent you."

"Pab, it's a plane ticket from MAD-NYC, why are you-"

"ARE YOU COMING TO NEW YORK, ARE YOU SERIOUS PABLO??"

I try to sneak a peek at Gav's phone, and Lina is over-the-top excited.

She's so cute when she's excited.

Who said that?

"Yes, we are. Oh by we, I mean Pedri & I. Dad & Danya are coming later this week."

He shows the screen to me, and it becomes silent.

She's so pretty. Did I already say that?

Hm? Who?

"Hey, Pedri. How are you?"

"Good, Lina. Y tú?

"Bien."
